rhe Highest Compliment in Montana

Luther Latin Mills, eX-State's At
.orney, has been out in the mountains
of Montana. After his arrival at Butte
City he was anxious to see one of the
characters which has given the West a
literature peculiar to itself. He didn't
have far 10 walk, for the mountains
run right down into the streets of Butte.
Above a crown of snow, regal in the
sun the year out; below the treasures
which make men everything except
contented, Mr.. Mills came upon one of
those miners in whose grasp there was
something higher than any order
ever gave. Having stopped the old
man and looked into his face, that ap-
peared as honest as the hills, Mr.. Mills
aid:
Il am looking for 4 man by the name
Of y ed Smith. Do you know anything
about him, sir?''
sis he a friend of yourn?" was the
quick query.
II hope he is, :" replied Mr.. Mills.
The old man looked the Chicago law
yer in the face Just moment, and an
swered
"Well, stranger, know him. And
he'll stand without hitchin'.'
That was tribute from the heart.
Education would have spoiled the
thought.

FARM NOTES.

FIGHTING INSECT ENEMIES. ES.-No
snbiect deserves more attention at the
hands of farmers. and OF hortlcuitur-
lists In particular, than economic ento-
moloQy. or the study OF insect friends
and enemies. Insect transformation
and habits are not only interesting and
wonderful, but they are or much piac-
tical use to the agrIculturalist. Com
paritively little is yet known OF the IN
seot world, although most injurious
and beneficial insects have been pretty
we'll studied. The careful and observ-
ing farmer can add much to the science
of economic entomology. By his oc-
cupation he is eminently supplied with
opportunlties for experiment. we
would encourage experimenting with
different insecticides. Many insects
can no doubt be fought to more advan-
tage in the near future than they now
are. by the use OF some insecticide yet
unknown. The important insecticides
now in use are: Paris green, ,pyrethrum
persian insect powder) white hellebore,
whale-oil soap, carbolic acid, soft soap,
kerosene oil and London purple. No
doubt preparations Of various native
plants will be found to be as effective
in certain cases as in pyrethrum. Many
plants are noxious to one or more
species of insects. DecOctions made OF
barks and leaves are found IN some
cases to be excellent insecticides. The
powdered heads of many daisy-llke
plants should be tried. We would es-
pecially advise the trying OF the
common plant called fleabane terigeron).
Pyrethrum is made by powdering the
heads OF a closely-allIed plant. We
have known a decoction or tea to be
made of tomato leaves. which gave
surprising results

E. Johdnson of st. Petersburg, gives
the following formula for a convenient
ink for marking clothing by means of a
stamp: TWENTY-FIVE parts OF carbonate
of soda are dissolved in s5 parts of
glycerine and triturated with 20 parts
Of gum arabic. In a small flask are
dissolved ii parts of nitrate Of silver In
20 parts or officinal water of ammonia.
The two solutions are then mixed and
heated to boiling. After the LIQUID has
acquired a dark color, 10 parts of Vene-
tian turpentine are stirred into IL. The
quantity OF glycerine may be varied to
suit the size Of the letters. After
stamping, expose to the sun or apply a
hot iron.

So far as We know, farming is the
only business In which men engage
with the expectation of borrowing the
implements for conducting it of their
neighbors. The leading habits is pro-
badly reminiscence Of times when the
country was new and early settlers
struggling with poverty were obliged
to help each other. But when farmer
has been in business a number of years
and owns valuable farm, he ought to
be ashamed to borrow the tools to work
it. As a matter of policy the time
spent in going for and returning bor-
rowed tools makes the practice more
expensive than owning them. Some
kinds OF implements not often in use
may be prohtably owned In common by
farmers living near each other; but even
this will often lead to bad feeling be-
tween nelghbors.

THE PLANTING OF EvERGREENS.
"A deciduous tree, the buds or which
have started, Is always risky thing to
handle. With evergreens 1t is different.
They transplant better after vegeta-
ton has started and the terminal buds
begin to swell. This is one reason why
evergreens furnished by nurserymen
with other stock early in the season,
often fail. They have necessarily
been dug too early, exposed perhaps to
chilling or drying winds during the
packing, and, though fresh and green
in appearance when received by the
planter, make no start after setting
out, and gradually turn brown and die.
1t is much better to order evergreens to
be sent separately from other trees and
later in the season, say during May or
even June, If the season is backward
and the new shoots have not made
much growth. They should be fresh
dug, quick packed and soon received.
The tender point about an evergreen is
its root. If once dried, 1t seldom re-
covers. 1t is very important, there
fore, that the roots should be carefully
protected from sun and wind. If pos
sible, take a cloudy or showery day for
handling evergreens. If the right con-
ditions do not exist, keep the roots con-
stantly wet and rolled up in mating.
Ii there are a great many to be handled,
as for hedging, keep them trenched in
moist soil, removing only a few at a
time.
